So what this is a game where you go around a big city in which some zombie virus has been leaked and is turning the populace of this city zombie like, you play a man called Alex i think who has had the virus some how but has not turned him into a zombie but instead gives him super powers to give him hammer fists etc. the story line is pretty generic for many people who have see Zombie films in the past you can kind of guess what to expect.
however this game has been the most frustrating game that I have played this generation, with many a time my self wanting to drive my head into a wall for the sheer randomness of some of the stuff that was happening in the game. There are plenty examples of this sheer mind numbing aggravation that i experienced one of the main things that fucked me off would have to be what happens when you die instead of giving you full health from the last check point the game gives you what seems like 1/3 health, many times i was shouting at the screen i couldn't do this level with all my health bar what makes this game think i can do it with 1/3 of a bar !!!!!!!. so then you have a choice to try and battle on with 1/3 of a health bar or recharge your health bar by eating civilians however if you try this you run the risk of a soldier seeing you then all hell kicking off as he calls for 15 helicopters to hit you with missiles causing you to lose more health than you started with, and this is and all to common occurrence for my liking. This is not however my only problem with the game many a times i was doing missions in which i was helping the Army it seemed however one soldier sees me with a car above my head and bang i have helicopters from the same army im helping coming after me..... Also at times it feels that you are punished trying to build a clever strategy and all to often you will succeed more in this game if you just go in all guns blazing.
The story line is very basic and is not to fleshed out it seems in much details you normally get a 1 min cut scene before every mission to tell you why you are doing something and that's it, you can consume additional people round the map to flesh it up a bit but it still feels weak for my liking.
one thing I did like about this game however are the boss battles yes they were ridiculously hard and yes they were frustrating and had me shouting at the tv 'thats not fucking fear you ass clown' but it was like in the old days of playing video games were the bosses were really hard and you had to keep coming back for more punishment but when you do beat them you get A huge boost, its so much more refreshing than as it is in some games one crack at the boss you win, one boss in this game took me 40 mins to complete i reckon and if i only played the game for about 9 hours lol. of course i do feel they have increased the difficulty of the bosses to get away sometimes from the bland repetitive nature of the other missions in the game which are often easy and involve you ether catching someone or destroying someone
In conclusion I could think of worse ways to spend a couple of hours however this game has some huge irritations but it only cost me about £7 I think. the people who made the game said that if it sold well it would be a trilogy well a year has past since its been realised and I have heard nothing about potential sequels so who knows. if you liked spiderman web of shadows then give this a try or vice versa
id give this A 5/10
